Rail + Mass Transit

Rail + Mass Transit

A Vital Link

Mass transit does more than power mobility. By linking urban and suburban living, it revitalizes city centers, creates jobs, attracts tourism and secures future investment, all of which spurs economic growth and changes lives for the better. For the last decade, Granite has remained one of the top 10 rail and transit contractors in the U.S.
